<x-flowed>The non-stock breather I use is from CB Performance:
http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=239
If that URL doesn't work just do a search on their web site for 
"breather".  You want the "Squareback Breather Box".  Works well.  And 
you only replace the breather box and NOT the breather stand.  The fan 
housing will not be affected by a breather box change.

If using spray paint then prep is most important.  Clean the parts well 
and primer them.  I powder coated my tin and parts so I know it'll 
outlast any paint job.  I powder coated my fuel pump as well:

No over-heating issues but my engine isn't exactly stock...

Why do you want another oil cooler?  Exactly what is the problem you are 
having that requires it?
